The Zimmers: octogenarians start a s-s-sensation

British “rock” band The Zimmers — with a combined age of more than 3,000 and a lead singer in his 90s — releases a cover of The Who’s “My Generation” and an accompanying music video. Results: adorable. And also a kind of powerful statement about relevance in old age.

“This is about old people sticking it back to the society that has cast them aside,” says (producer Tim) Samuels.
